Audio archive of interviews with African-Americans who moved to Detroit in the last century to get away from discrimination and Jim Crow laws in the southern United States. Detroiters ranging in age from 65 to 90 recount their migration to Detroit from New Orleans, Houston, Beloit (Alabama), Wilton (Arkansas), and other parts of the South. The project which began in 2004 was part of a Teacher-Scholar award received by Professor Dena Scher in the Psychology/ Social Sciences Department of Marygrove College. These digital interviews were conducted by Dr. Scher's students who interviewed relatives about their experiences during the “Jim Crow” days and their subsequent migration to the North. Other interviews come from the “Black Storytellers Association of Detroit” and from a participant in the Greensboro Sit-in demonstrations that occurred in February 1960. Each interview has audio files (MP3) and an interview index or transcript.
